I think drugs change personality/ reactions/ behaviour/ perception a lot.
When I was on Zoloft/ Lexapro, people find me rather calm, tamed, nice, but slow.
When I was on Epilim, I get angry easily, became rude, but am able to think really fast -- very good grades in exams too.

Actually, your experience on Epilim sounds like my experience on Zoloft. Lexapro just made me depressed. Zoloft worked very well but had awful side effects of aggressive, rude behaviors, hate towards humanity but also mental sharpness and top grades. It was one of the best things I could have taken my first year of law school from an academic, though not a social, standpoint.
Zoloft causes horrible weight gain. Lexapro/SJW cause weight loss.
Wow, Zoloft didn't make me fat, but Epilim did.
Actually Invega was horrid-- it didn't help me with anything, but I gained 20kg in like a month-- that's monstrous considering that I was only 45kg before that Invega stupidity

Those symptoms didn't happen't to me, but I can't tollerate St. Johns Worth or most SSRIs, because then I get the rare side effect: polymorphous light eruption and that's very heavy. 
But so far I read autism can also be -at least parrtly- cause by TOO MUCH serotonine in the brain. That could explain your symptoms you are experience. But even then you could still develop depression. This isn't just caused by too less serotonine. It can be also be caused by too less dopamine for example. So maybe an antidepressent who is more a dopamine and noradrenaline antagonist would be right for you. Have you tried that?
I'm taking agomeltanine (Valdoxan), who also works different. (Increases melatonin at night)

I only use natural substances now after a bad experience with prescription antidepressants. What would increase dopamine?
Tyrosine
But be also carefull with natural sublements. Eventhough it's less likely they can also cause side effects, like in my case with St. Johns Worth for example.
